Autopost sell a complete re-build kit for V8s; rings, bearings, cam, followers, gaskets etc. At £250 it seems very good value for money. Anyone used one of these kits and if so, what was the quality like? Any problems at all?

A bloke I work with informed me, when driving behind me, that when I brake the rear light on one side went out. After a rather frustrating hour or so swapping bulbs and holder about, both rear lights now go out when I brake but the high level top light comes on! I've now found out that the...

I had my soft dash Range Rover Classic stolen last weekend! Reg is L872 LRX. It was Light metallic green (Cypress Green?) with black bonnet and wings that were due to be sprayed to match the rest of the vehicle soon. It only had 78,000 miles on the clock and was spotless underneath. It had...

Hi all, I hope someone can help. My soft dash V8 broke down yesterday and the AA guy said it's probably the fuel pump relay that's gone. He ran a switched live to the pump to get me going but I obviously want to fix it properly. Where abouts is the relay and what colour is it? Are there...

I'm about to transfer a stainless exhaust with tubular headers from one V8 to another. Is it worth replacing the large middle box with a straight through pipe to release a few more horses, or will it bugger up back pressure and ruin things? I like the idea of a more fruity V8 sound too...

The engine has cut out 5 times over the last few weeks, usually when driving slowly. It starts again after a while, sometimes it takes a minute or so. I've changed the fuel filter, checked the wire on the stop solenoid and made sure I'm not letting the fuel tank run too low. My next port...

I took my Classic for an MOT yesterday, which it passed with flying colours, after a slow front end re-build after driving through a fence two years ago. On the way there, there was a grating/whining noise from underneath that I initially put down to rusty discs, but the autobox didn't want...

I'm slowly doing up a Hi Cap pick up and the front axle's pretty crappy. Can I fit the axle from a Range Rover Classic that I have? It has good balls and seals and vented discs, which will obviously improve the braking, especially as one day it'll have a 3.9 V8 under the bonnet with an auto box...

I got my old 3.9 going yesterday. It's been sitting for over a year, and started OK after the petrol had got through from the tank. The only trouble is that the oil warning light is staying on. I don't want to rev it too much with the hope of it going out, as I could damage the engine. Could the...

My H reg Range Rover has very bad rust on the sills, floor, door pillars etc, and it's not worth doing. I was trying for a body swap, but no decent ones have turned up. I've been offered a complete G reg Range Rover 3.9 for £700, which is rust free in the areas mine's bad, it's done 96,000 miles...
